STMicroelectronics is upping its game in power electronics with a family of motor drivers that can control the brushed DC and stepper motors at the heart of high-end industrial and consumer ...

Vector Control, also known as Field Oriented Control or FOC is an AC motor control scheme that enables fine-grained control over a connected motor, through the precise control of its phases. In a ...

Next is the H-bridge, which resembles an H (Figure 2), which is used typically with a brushed DC motor. In addition to run, coast, and break operating modes, it can also reverse a motor. Simplified ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

With the new InstaSPIN™-FOC (field-oriented-control) solution from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) designers can identify, tune and fully control (through variable speeds and loads) any type of ...

Motion control may be one of those things that can easily be taken for granted in industrial automation and robotic systems, but it's traditionally complex to program. That's why Texas Instruments has ...

In today’s world, motors are ubiquitous, powering everything from household appliances to industrial machinery. The importance of optimizing motor control for energy efficiency cannot be overstated, ...

Graceful Shutdown: Ensuring the motor and controller are shut down safely when the application is stopped. If the application operates on a multicore MCU/DSP/FPGA, an appropriate inter-core ...

Overload devices protect motors, motor control equipment, and motor branch-circuit conductors against excessive heating due to motor overloads and failure to start, but not against overcurrent (e.g., ...
